vegan cheese

Plant-based cheese alternative

Vegan cheese is a dairy-free alternative to cheese, made from plant-based ingredients like nuts, soy, or coconut oil.

The category ranges from mass-produced slices designed to melt on burgers to artisanal cashew-based wheels that mimic aged varieties.

Quality and taste vary widely: The vegan cheese on this pizza is actually pretty good.
